In this post, we consider how to play chess games with a computer online, without any registrations, uploads, installations and from any device connected to internet (including a mobile phone).
If you do not know rules of the chess game then see the links in the references, below.
To start a game, we go to this URL: https://www.dynpass.online/tools/chess/start.html and select parameters of the game: a set your play with (whites or blacks), a level of the opponent skills (beginner, intermediary, advanced), a mode (play or learn). Then we click on the button “Go”. Let us select set=whites, mode=play, level=beginner.
To make a move, we enter 4 symbols (the first 2 symbols of the start position and the last 2 symbols of the final position and press “Enter” on the keyboard or click on the “Next” button. Let us enter “e2e4”.
After some time, the opponent responds. As we can see, the opponent’s move was “c7c5”.
For castling, we also enter 4 symbols: 2 for the starting position of the King and the last 2 for the ending position of the King. In the example below, we enter e1g1 for the white King.
Incorrect moves will be ignored.
For promotions, we enter 5 symbols, where the last symbol is the symbol of a piece we want to promote from the pawn. Usually the pawn is promoted to Queen (the strongest piece), but this is not a good promotion in some cases. Let us consider the situation below.
If we promote the white pawn to the white Queen with the move c7c8Q then the blacks respond with the move b8d7.
Now, the white King must escape check to the seventh row. Then, the blacks move the Rook: a8c8. In this situation, the whites have no a chance to win as they have only a single King to play with.
But, if the whites move c7c8N then they win with the checkmate from the white Knight.
Beginners can choose the learning mode. In this case, they can use hints/recommendations for moves.
Chess originated in 6th-century India as chaturanga, spreading to Persia to become shatranj. Following the Arab conquest of Persia, the game spread throughout the Muslim world, eventually reaching Europe via Spain and Italy by 1000 AD and evolving into its modern form in 15th-century Europe. Key rule changes around 1475, including increasing the queen's power, accelerated the game, leading to formalized theory, competitive tournaments by the 1800s, and the first World Championship in 1886.
In 1749 the first standard chess manual was written by chess master Francois-Andre Danican Philidor.
The standard "Staunton" set, designed by Nathaniel Cook and endorsed by Howard Staunton, was introduced in 1849 and adopted by FIDE in 1924.
Learning chess is included in the educational programs of over 30 countries, with Armenia being the only nation to make it a mandatory, nationwide. For more info, see [4-6].
